Agreed.  It should not force double signing, for example.

To wit - the "locked ADSP record" part.  And if that's all that is  
required .. why then, I dont see why that part of it cant be  
shoehorned into the base 4871 spec somehow - perhaps in -bis as a  
newly defined tag.


This terminology is from a different draft where "all" was changed to  
"CLOSED" and "discardable" to "LOCKED".   The DKIM public key is not  
directly referenced from the email-address domain, it needs a selector  
to be discovered.  This policy is to be applied when no signature is  
found.  There does not seem to be any practical advantage attempting  
to overload the DKIM public key record, nor would a signature tag be  
that much help.
